How about this trade

So basically we trade a 3 way with Washington and Charlotte.

It would be a sacrifice 2011 for 2012 idea pretty much.

It would give us :

C   Javale Mcgee/ vejic/free agent(Kristic)
Pf  Garnett/ Tyrus Thomas
Sf  Rashard Lewis/Jeff Green (vice versa)
Sg  Allen/Jordan Crawford
Pg  Dj Augustine/ free agent(Barea?)

2012 we sign maybe Russel Westbrook or Deron Williams?

It's a gamble but why it might work.
1. Mcgee is the real deal. He scores defends, has long arms, rebounds well etc. He could potentially be a top handful center one day.
2. Tyrus Thomas is the best guy in the league at stopping LBJ. He is 6'9 with long arms and full of energy , tuff grit, physical and aggresive(a advanced version of Posey without as much range)
3. Jordan Crawford had near 40 point games multiple times with Washington and showed he is a capable scorer and shooter. If allen has 3 or 4 more years left in him we would be in good hands with Crawford coming in as Rivers teaches him how to defend.
4. If we could get Barea we may not need a starting point in 2012(he may be ready to be big time now). Augustine is pretty solid too just not a top 10 guy.
5. J Green is underrated but Lewis offers a veteran SF that can really provide serious help off the bench. He is over payed but would sure fit the role well for us off the bench. Green should blossom into the new Pierce .

So the key is to beat Miami, we would have Mcgee slapping shots away..KG containing Bosh..Thomas giving LBJ hell on earth and Barea burning anyone they try to put on him at point. The only issue would be Ray and Jordans defense on Wade....we may look in 2012 for a tony allen type guy to fix that.

Risky huh?

Including Pierce in a trade essentially negates the whole thing.  He will retire a Celtic.  He's the one Celtic in this era who will never be traded.

No way Danny takes on Lewis' contract.

Doubtful that he'd take on Thomas' contract either.  Too much flakiness there.

Joe, I think you should give it a rest with the trade ideas for a while.

These numbers scare me: $19.6M/year for another 3 years.

If McGee, shard (granted he was injured), and Jordan Crawford are such valuable pieces then why did the wizards still suck?

[Q_FBE]

Lost me when I saw Rashard Lewis's name in Paul Pierces spot.

What Rashard gonna do? Supply Jeff Green with some PEDs?

Let's trade everyone for everyone, and then trade them all over again...

This is unnecessary...disagree with the trade if you want, but there's no need to insult people.
